Finally for Sale

Botanical Name: Acer palmatum 'Kiyohime

Common Name: Japanese Maple Murasaki Kiyohime

Story of the Tree

I had admired this tree at Sumigawa's Nursery in Cotati for years and it was always "not for sale." Finally in 2011, it was for sale. It was rather large at about 2 feet tall with lush foliage all over. I took it to a workshop and the teacher convinced me it should become a smaller tree. Earlier this year I transplanted it into this little moon pot that I got from June Nguy. My goals are to continue to create more foliage and improve the apex. The color of the foliage is always fun and the small leaves require a bit of work trimming out unwanted growth.
